PLA v. Terminators: Gruntz!

The Battlefield: An Industrial Sector. Preparatory bombardment has damaged several buildings and vehicles. PLA troop transport vehicles are immobilized (no points value).

Turn 1: PLA troops stoically await the advancing mechanical murderers.

Turn 2: a flurry of surprisingly effective rifle fire and some good work by the mortar crews have thinned the T-800 ranks a bit.

Three Termies down. The remainder of the soulless killers ignore their losses.

Turn 3: After taking the brunt of a pair of T-800s' plasma fire, a much reduced squad goes into Condition Brown and fall back to regroup and change their shorts.
Note the yellow chicken token. I love that token.

Each skull represents a former PLA trooper in the squad that fled.

Turn 4: The T-800s manage to hack the electronic brains of the security robots at the plant, who turn on their human masters!
We handled this as a test of Skill versus Mental.

 Turn 4: Autocannon fire from the PLA Type 95 mecha chews up two more Termies.

Turn 5: One mortar team destroyed (Skull marker) on the PLA right flank. The hover support team advances at a walk.

Turn 5: PLA NCOs re-establish the control link over the security bots and move them against the T-800s. The combined fire of an entire squad takes down another T-800.

Turn 6: Rifle Team Two concentrates its fire on a robot in the ruins. The support team will take out the T-800 advancing under cover beyond the ruined structure.

Turn 7: The Type 95 corners another Terminator, and savages it with automatic fire, bringing down the last of the dreadful things.

   So, another outpost of humanity saved, though I think Zach is getting far too comfortable with his T-800s for my peace of mind. Only massive overwhelming numbers saved the day for the People's Liberation Army.

Speaking of PLA...

   In the last post, a few minutes ago, I mentioned purchasing a ClearHorizon Games Cyclops for my PLA forces.

   The Peoples' Liberation Armies of the Greater Asian Hegemony have also expanded their capacity with the addition of a couple of pieces of field artillery and their first mecha!

PLA Type 95 "Gaoshepang" AA Mecha

   The Type 95's quad cannons are also quite good at shredding lightly armoured vehicles, mecha, and, of course, infantry squads.

ClearHorizon Cyclops


   Available now for $8.99. I just ordered one. I totally see this as fitting in with my People's Liberation Army Scheme.

PLA Infantry

PLA elite 'Redcap' trooper

   The People's Liberation Army are my 'other' human force, besides the FedArms troops of the Corporate Federation. Mostly conscripts, and not very good. The Redcaps, however, are quite good in Gruntz terms, being volunteers and combat veterans.



   I will be out of town the end of the week and this coming weekend, attending Historicon and spending a great deal of hard-earned money on more toys. I will try to schedule at least one post for while I am gone in order to keep up the current strong posting schedule...
